Brian Tyree Henry isn’t making his mother, Kate Mulgrew, proud in the trailer for Apple TV+’s Dope Thief. And why would he? No mother wants their son growing up to be a dope thief. It’s like hearing that your child dreams of becoming an influencer—not what any parent wants to hear. On the show, Henry, along with Narcos’ Wagner Moura, poses as a DEA agent to rob drug dealers. It’s not exactly the type of thing that endears you to dear mom, but that’s one of the predicaments explored in the new eight-episode series Dope Thief. Executive produced by Ridley Scott, who directs the first episode, and created by The Town scribe Peter Craig, the series has an impressive cast, including Mulgrew, Marin Ireland, and Ving Rhames for some Philly-based drug running and all the highs and lows within.
